6 thoughts on “Spell Checker Doesn’t Solve Everything”

I am finding lately, as I get older, I am misspelling words I know, in just that way, using homophones. Two for too, fete for fate. This is Unfortunate if I am trying to write a love scene and refer to someone’s bear bottom, and I’m not working on a shapeshifter novel.

Ivana, I admit I run spell check but then go back and check what spell check corrects! ha! Like you pointed out, it doesn’t have the capacity to discern between they’re, there, or their. As writers, we must be careful to avoid these simple mistake that so heavily detract from our writing. This post was a wonderful reminder of that! :)
